Five on Friday: It's been a busy week

 Happy Friday everyone! 

We made it to the weekend. 

And Wowser's it was a busy week! 

So today for Five on Friday I thought I would do a quick recap of the week:

1. Monday


This was President's Day and I was supposed to take Ben to get blood work done. However, Mother Nature had other plans. We got snow and ice on Sunday and Monday and we were under a Level 2 snow emergency for part of the day. Needless to say, we stayed home as the kids and I were all off work/school. We just hung out at home. I did some puttering around the house, did my Bible Study stuff, and just puttered. 

2. Tuesday

Today was COLD and LONG. At work, we had kids who have been acting CRAZY all week and then had to get ready for our art show which was the next day. Then I had an in-service meeting that I had to attend. Needless to say I felt behind all day and I had forgotten to put something in the Crockpot so I stopped at McDonald's on the way home. The kids were thrilled that I had gotten them McD's. 

3. Wednesday

Wednesday was another LONG day at work as we had our annual art show. It was well attended but again made for a long day as it was after class was over. The parents loved it though and that is what matters.  

4. Thursday

Yesterday, we had more snow! Enough to give a 2 hour delay for the kids. It was a crazy ride to work where I had to stop twice to use water to clean off my windshield as the spray from trucks made it impossible to see and my windshield wiper fluid sprayers were frozen. Not a good combination. It was an okay day at work. After work, I picked up my medicine at Walmart, picked up a Shamrock shake and dinner from McDonald's for me and after I ate, I went to Adoration at my church and my Bible Study. Again another long but good day.

5. Friday


Today was another 2 hour delay day for the kids. I am beginning to hate 2 hour delay days and the snow. Thankfully today my windshield washer fluid worked! It wasn't a super crazy day at work. It was still a long day though as I had to take Ben to counseling, pick up my Kroger order, had a Walmart order delivered, and am now writing up this post. Even Gronk is like, "Why haven't you been home all week?" 

Like I said it has been a long week. This weekend looks busy as well as I am taking an all day class tomorrow and on Sunday I want to go to my nephew's band concert. 

Oh well. Such is life! 

Thanks to Cathy from My Creative Life for hosting this link party each Friday! 

How has your week been?

    1. Next week we are supposed to have 30 degree temperatures and I'm excited for something other than teens temperatures.

  2. Thank you for joining me on Five on Friday Rachel, it sounds a very busy week. Gronk looks like he missed you, bless him. I never leave enough time for defrosting the car, then I'm late. We're busy at our church too - young people's group 2 or 3 Sunday evenings, bible study weekly and general rota duty's. We also man a stall selling Christian bookshop material, though sales aren't great. Have a good weekend.

    1. My church activities also include teaching on Sunday. It makes for long days but fulfilling ones too. Sorry your sales aren't great. Maybe as we get closer to Lent and Easter sales will rise.

  3. They make window washer fluid that won't freeze. Two hour delays were always something i hated.

    1. It wasn't the actual washer fluid but ice has built up outside the sprayer and caused it to be frozen. This vans sprayer is on the hood and I didn't realize until too late it was frozen on the outside.

  4. That does sound like a busy week. I hope you're able to recuperate over the weekend.

  5. Whew! You've had a busy week! The kids at my school when I've been there have were acting a bit crazy as well, lack of outside time and we ALL have cabin fever. That artwork is pretty, made out of plastic bottles? Glad you made it everywhere safe with the frozen windshield wiper fluid. Such a cute cat. Hope you have a much warmer and more relaxing week coming up!

    1. Yes it is made out of recycled water bottles. It is inspired by the art of Chihuly.
